Well, Valentine's Day is actually based off of a Catholic feast day for Saint Valentine. That's why some languages (like Spanish) call it SAINT Valentine's day. Other's like friendship day or sweetest day are set up to sell things.
Here's a good site that at least explains the origins of Valentine's Day.

Fun is the main reason.... But I have never heard of "Friendship Day." I know that "VD" (that is the way I abbreviate "Valentine's Day") was invented by Hallmark, but it is still fun.
